Madagascar

Madagascar, an island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa, offers explorers a unique and unforgettable adventure through its extraordinary biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. Renowned for its unique flora and fauna, Madagascar is home to species found nowhere else on Earth, such as lemurs, chameleons, and the striking baobab trees.

In Antananarivo, the bustling capital, you can explore vibrant markets, historic sites, and enjoy the local cuisine, which blends African, Asian, and French influences. The Avenue of the Baobabs, near Morondava, provides a surreal and iconic landscape, especially at sunset when the towering trees cast long shadows.

The island’s diverse ecosystems range from the rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, where you can hear the haunting calls of the Indri lemurs, to the dramatic limestone formations of Tsingy de Bemaraha, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Coastal areas like Nosy Be and Île Sainte-Marie offer pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life, perfect for snorkelling, diving, and relaxation.

Please note that the estimated temperature, rainfall and recommended months of when to go are based on Antananarivo’s weather patterns
